Paramount Pictures<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nAccording to the lawsuit, Paramount acquired the copyright to Yonay’s story after it was published in 1983. In 2018, the Yonays allege they sent Paramount a notice that the copyright was terminated with an effective date of Jan. 24, 2020. They claim Paramount did not get a license to make the sequel.<\/p>\n
The Yonays claim the film was completed after the effective termination date of Jan. 24, 2020.<\/p>\n
“Despite the 2022 sequel clearly having derived from the story, Paramount consciously failed to secure a new license of film and ancillary rights in the copyrighted story following the Yonays’ recovery of their US copyright on January 24, 2020,” the lawsuit states.<\/p>\n
According to the Hollywood Reporter, Paramount has insisted the sequel was sufficiently completed before that date.<\/p>\n
“These claims are without merit, and we will defend ourselves vigorously,” Paramount said in a statement, which was first reported by The Hollywood Reporter.<\/p>\n
“Top Gun: Maverick,” which stars Tom Cruise and Miles Teller, has grossed more than $ 500 million since it was released over Memorial Day. The Yonays are seeking declaratory and injunctive relief and unspecified damages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
